It was a real pleasure to interview Pat Sharples, Head Coach at Snowsport GB. I've known Pat for 20+ years, but with his globe-trotting lifestyle rarely see him these days. I loved hearing about the rise to the top of freeskiing in the UK and the team of talented athletes that he's leading to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. Sit back and enjoy this 'Chat with Pat'...
